Answer:

B. False

To determine if -1 is a solution for the equation x^2 - 6x + 5 = 0, we substitute -1 into the equation and check if it satisfies the equation.

When we substitute -1 for x, we get:

(-1)^2 - 6(-1) + 5 = 1 + 6 + 5 = 12

Since the result is not zero, -1 is not a solution for the equation x^2 - 6x + 5 = 0. Therefore, the statement is false.
